Guess I'm the first member...Her I' go with a poem(sorry if my spelling's bad):

Let me fly outside mr. Blake
You know I'm The Lamb and Tiger in one
To the glister of neon particles
in crazy mid-european night

(Some said that in july nights
the moon becomes sharp and furious
cuttin through sreamy clouds like a Saracen yatagan
diamond sharp and radiant
vision of insanity on the shores of hazy boredom)

I can call the trippy, piper sound of the night
into the edenic corn fields,
just with the power of the one who feed us with lust
Me-Tiger and a Lamb
and my sunny bride,devoted to tears
and drunkeness of eternal northern winds

Let me fly away, to this graet movie displayed
in the aurora borealis cinema of love
while my fingers gently touch her hair
heavenly river of warm cinnamon...
Rio Platte of sublime evenings
whene or minds leave
for a connection with the pantheistic sky

 

Nice

This is mine:

The air was hazy in the peak of the night
The music spoke to our restless minds
Reckless as our reckless time
Ain't it good to be alive?
Let it be, we were falling up
Never ever coming down
Music is fire; we let it burn
Thought the wheeels of time would never turn
And we knew it would last forever.
Said "the dawn is breaking, but we're still here
Living out our greatest years."
The truth was soon to take it's toll
I guess we'd been dreaming all along
And a dream can't last forever

Sweet Woodstock...

 

here's one I wrote last year, I don't think it's near my best but it's one of the two I have typed already and I don't feel like typing I've written in my notebook right now.

Everyone has died and I am left alone
They’ve all become an end to what was truth
The morning calls them at a over bearing fake moon
They have demised their own fate and replaced with a fake hanging death

Will they ever come back?
Most likely
But by then it will be to late
They would have relised their wrong
But can do nothing about what they’ve lost

Awake and bask

 

I like it. It was good.

To Axl Rose:
"Darling, why are you so sad?
It's over now; that wasn't so bad."
She used to tell you
A long time ago
When there was nothing else to say
And your world was growing cold.
"Darling, sorry if he made you cry.
Tomorrow will be better; just try to close your eyes."
She used to tell you
She knew it was a lie
When she saw your whole world crumble
From the corner of her eye.
Hold on
Don't give up the fight.
Hold on
'Cause it's going to be alright.
There'll be love soemday.

 

here's the other one on my computer...still not my best but I can post it and still be lazy,

I’ve killed before
Rented a false sense and went wild
Created a jewel
But the jewel is to be broken at dawn

Leaving the net at the morning
Striking threw the moon with a power that is unwilling
Once more it comes to this
And again the dream is lost
And the one rembered has become silent

 

If only we could love
We wouldn't need to fight
To prove we're right
We would have peace.
If only we could love
There'd be no need for violence
And on one would be silenced
The bombs would cease.
But we're drenched in so much hate
The blood we're spilling shows our fate
Why can't we learn to love?

 

I found one more

Remember those days where we’d laugh and we’d sing
We’d play in the yard
And for that moment we all free?

The they’d call us in and tell us what to do
What to eat and tie our shoes

We’d never fight back
Were scared and in fear
But we went on
Because we all had our dreams running out from our heads threw our hair

Then we’d go to the building where we had fun
And dreamed and dreamed about going to the next one

Highschool was cool
We thought we would rule
Until we saw it sucked
As our minds were getting fucked

Then we once we got out we wish we could do it again
Scared of the world they they instilled in our heads

They fucked us all
And some of us knew all long
While the others they played their games and studied for their grades
The rest of us wanted more

We will not know what happens here but the bullshit they told us to want we know fear
Scared of it all
We would’ve never guessed as we ran threw those halls

 

Damn that rocked.

To Jerry Garcia:

As we watch you dig your grave
We can't help but wonder
If you'll ever be the same.
As you fall to far to save
We can't help but wonder
If you've forgotten your own name.
Lay down here and rest.
We only want what's best.
And please remember...
We love you nonetheless.

 

Good Job^
Running through the hazy field
Fog is dancing all around
The glazed moon is starring down
Freedom is the night
Give into the temptation
Join the night

 

okay, i'll join in the fun here, i got 2, one i wrote sort of a while ago, and one i wrote sort of recently.

and now the sort of recent one. i kind of forgot i had written it (haven't looked in my notebook in a while ). anyways, it's another one i'm pleased with...


A heavenly wind blows
Over me
It carries with it an
Elegance
Of course it breathes
Like the fire
For it is rapid
And tender

Cool

To Axl Rose:

Child without a name
I know you're not the one to blame
Your spirit bears no shame.
I can see into your eyes
And baby, I don't see no lies
Only desperate cries.
Did they seal your heart
Without a reason why?
Still your soul
Trade your life for lies?
When there's nowhere to go
You're not alone.
When there's no one to hold
You're not alone.
I've been there before
You're not alone.

 

Awesome!

 

Thanks

Lets see...

They say I'm crazy
'Cause I wanna rock 'n roll.
Don't say I'm crazy
'Cause I like it and it never gets old.
When there's nothing to do
And nothing to loose
Get stoned!

Hehe I dunno.

 

Hey!
You gentle,peacock-like wilderness
i only wish to unfold before your bottlecaps eyes
smiling,willingly and beautifull,without purpose at all

Once we shall be old and forgotten,
dying rock'n'roll angels carried with the stream of vodka
away into the whispering,holy night
(out of sight)
(out of sigh?)
Out on tha bona fide fields of the meadow
that the wise ones call
the wilderness

 

Damn!Nobody is posting there anymore...Come on people!Maybe this wil shake you up

She is looking for a man with
January-hands...Equaly enbracing her from both her sides
A man with reflective heart in which she can see herself...
Heart in which she fixes her make-up and hair...
A water-surface,tender and weak heart of mine

She is looking for a fool...
The ragged rebel, cowboy to happy to grow old...
And to sad to stay young...
A man who changes from a.m. to p.m.
The angel...sainted cold handed cryng rag-doll
for her to play with...
She is waiting for me...

 

Dancing round the fire
Singing the old tunes
Enjoying a Blue Moon or two
Skipping between the pillars
Everyone join in!
There's plenty of room for you.
Just let your inhibitions go,
at least for this one magical night,
Under the blissful starry sky.
Pass the bowl around,
and enjoy our festivities.

Peace and love

 

chuck a belly here we go...

the world awaits for something
what it is we don't know
but we hope it will be swell
for fear of going to hell

then as it comes we hide like sheep
making no peep scared out of our minds
holding each other
fighting each other
loving each other
killing each other
while the it has left without our knowledge

finally we submerge into the light
claiming all that we see
untill the day when it comes
and cycle begins again

 

My beautiful muse stares into my eyes
Putting me into a trance
We lie in silence, enjoying each other's company
Holding each other in our arms.

The moon bathes us in light
beneath the starry sky
and a deep black abyss.
Meteriotes fly over our heads.

The beauty of the night cannot be described with mere words,
lying beneath the willow tree by the pond.
The rainbow bass leap out of the water,
shining in the silver moonlight.

This is our life together.

Peace and Love
